Book Review: Never Miss

Never Miss by Melissa Koslin      Former CIA sniper Kadance Tolle possesses a special set of skills and a rare pedigree. She comes from a family of assassins, and by saving Lyndon Vaile's life she risks being found by them. Despite the danger, Kadance feels compelled to help Lyndon discover who is after him--and his research that seems to prove that the Ebola virus was manmade and is about to be weaponized.      With shadowy figures pursuing them and a Mastermind watching their every move, Kadance and Lyndon must scramble to stop an impending bioattack at the State of the Union address. But their warnings fall on deaf ears, and it becomes increasingly clear that there's no one they can trust--except perhaps each other.      Strap in for a breakneck story that will have you up all night, hurtling toward the last page as the clock ticks and time runs out. Like the last review, this was the first book I have read by this author and I am official...

Book Review: The Paris Betrayal

Image
  The Paris Betrayal by James Hannibal      After a rough mission in Rome involving the discovery of a devastating bioweapon, Company spy Ben Calix returns to Paris to find his perfectly ordered world has collapsed. A sniper attack. An ambush. A call for help that brings French SWAT forces down on his head. Ben is out. This is a severance--reserved for incompetents and traitors.      Searching for answers and anticipating a coming attack, Ben and a woman swept up in his misfortunes must travel across Europe to find the sniper who tried to kill him, the medic who saved his life, the schoolmaster who trained him, and an upstart hacker from his former team. More than that, Ben must come to grips with his own insignificance as the Company's plan to stop Leviathan from unleashing the bioweapon at any cost moves forward without him--and he struggles against the infection that is swiftly claiming territory within his own body. This is the first book I have re...

Book Review: Help Her Be Brave

  Help Her Be Brave by Amy Ford What if we lived in a world where every woman with an unplanned pregnancy always felt empowered to choose life for her unborn baby? To create that kind of change, it will take all of us. As the church, we can play a powerful role in making abortion unthinkable. With Help Her Be Brave, you can discover your part in saving lives and find your pro-life passion. This was a great book! In each chapter the author explained a story or example of a girl or woman going through a certain problem that went with the chapter's theme. At the end of each chapter, Amy Ford listed out ways that each of us could get involved in the pro-life (or pro-LOVE) movement. Throughout the book, Amy Ford points out that at the foundation of every abortion decision is fear: fear of disappointment, fear of the future, fear of rejection. It is our job in the pro-life/pro-LOVE movement to show these girls that they are loved. No matter what mistakes they have made, we will love them...
